but the height was perfect. I still need to drill the coupling and fit a dowel pin for security. I wired across the coupling for anodes later on.
I finished varnishing the hatch and took it back down and gave the bulkhead two coats of primer as well.

I removed the flexible coupling to check the shaft coupling against the gearbox.
I checked it with a feeler gauge. The gap on each side was perfect but there was a 30 thou discrepancy
between the top and bottom. I'm more than satisfied with that with a flexible joint so the whole job didn't
take long.

| The fuel tank has had all the fittings welded in and is bolted in place, It'll hold 30lts. That should run the little Petter for quite awhile and a 5 gallon drum will be like having a full spare tank of fuel. |
 |
| I primed the back of the teak sheeting because I am going to sheet the inside with pine and paint it all satin white, Most of the interior will be satin white and I'll trim it with varnished teak. |

| The list of jobs left to do is starting to get short now. A lot of them will take very little time but I just have to save up and buy bits and pieces. The hatch needs a deck light for instance. |
